was passed during one of their meet

deed had not yet come. Two days
were consumed in taking testimony,

Harry Taylor, and that both Taylor

answering to Taylor's being found
in the river with marks of violence

weighted down. The lodges in this
county were organized by a negro
named Stringer, who claims to be
working under authority of the Grand
Orient of France. Their lodge was
founded in 1882. Several other lodges
have been founded in this section. The
colored Masons are not recognized by
white Masons at ALL and their order is
not under the authority of the old
York order of Masonry. 1t is hard to
say whether they have an obligation
